Re: Melee sugestion for Halo 2

In Response To: Melee sugestion for Halo 2 (Razorback) : See how didn´t used the word ´idea´ ? :P : Ok , so I´ve been thinking that Halo 2 sould have a more ilaborate melee : system. I came up with two diffrent ´sugestions` that I think are worth : reading about. : Sugestion A) Combo Melee : No , I don´t want to turn Halo into a stupid : fighting game hybrid , just improve the very simple and very well done : melee system that Halo already has. : Ok , so here´s how it would work; On Halo1 normally you would press B and the : normal melee animation would folow , always the same animation , one : animation for each diffrent weapon. What if you could make diffrent atacks : with the same weapon. : Lets imagine the MC is holding an AR , if you press B standing still he will : strike with the butt of the gun to the nose of the creature , but if you : were to push B as you were walking forward , he could raise the gun above : the enemie´s head and the then hit him with a downward movement , and the : creature would reponde with an acurate animation , he could bite his tong : or fall down. the same thing for all the other directions , backwards , : left , right , all of them with diffrent animations. And then you could do : Combos , wouldn´t it be realy cool if you made the Forward melee folowed : by a backward melee , wich would hit him on the chin , or maybe even make : the Cov jump a few feet up in the air , and you could blast him away with : the shotgun while in the air. Or constantly slap a guy left and right : untill he´s brain falls out? : Sugestion B) Sequence Melee : This one is way less ambitious than the first : one , it doesn´t involve directions to make combos. : It works like this , each weapon has something like 3 diffrent animations , : if you press B once you will see one , if you press B once again after a : short pause from the first one , you would trigger the second one and so : on. : This would be more intresting than the current option in my opinion. : Final Comments: As you can see , this doesn´t affect the balance of the game : , its just a very cool gimick it would add a LOT to the "cool : factor" , you would feel like your a real mean future cyborg machine : ;) : I prefer sguestion A way more than sugestion B if you ask me , but maybe : their´s just too much work involved in it. It would take 5 times more : animations than Halo 1 just for the melee part , and each enemie would : also need 5 times more animations , But I realy think its worth it. : I´de love to read you comments on this , constructive critiscism , maybe : toghether we could polishe the idea , or maybe you could tell me why it : wouldn´t work or why its dumb. : Thanks for reading. That actually sounds interesting. I like the idea of tossing a covenant soldier back with a follow-up melee. >^..^<
